Friday's article, "The Penalty Is Death", by Terry James, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:
 

 

The death penalty debate has been in the news this week. In the U.S. there was a good deal of hubbub over the execution of the 1,000th person since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976. In Singapore, a 25-year-old Australian national was hanged for drug trafficking. A firestorm of complaints failed to prevent Nguyen Tuong Van from going to the gallows.

I find it most displeasing that the liberal media is always trying to find new trivial ways to attack the death penalty. The press needs to figure that as long as the dregs of society continue to commit reprehensible acts, there is going to be an ongoing number count. If the Lord tarries, the justice system will eventually execute the 2,000th or 3,000th person.

I pray you are blessed by all, and that you have a blessed day in the Lord!

YSIC!
